"The longer I live, the more I realize
the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more
important than facts. It is more important than the past,
than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures,
than successes, than what other people think or say or
do. It is more important than appearance, than giftedness
or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a
home. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day
regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. We
cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that
people act a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play the one string we have,
and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is ten
percent what happens to you and ninety percent of how you
react to it. We are in charge of our
attitudes."
